BLOOMFIELD, NJ — New Jersey’s budding legal weed industry is still largely dominated by “Big Cannabis” corporations. But the owners of a new recreational marijuana dispensary in Bloomfield hope to help even the playing field when they officially open Nightjar this week.
Nightjar, a women and minority-owned cannabis dispensary located at 549 Bloomfield Avenue, will hold a grand opening celebration at 11 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 12. Cozz Coffee will be at the store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. offering a complimentary espresso bar and coffee for Nightjar’s first customers.
The dispensary will offer 20 percent off all purchases for its opening weekend.
After its grand opening event, Nightjar will be open to customers Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Learn more here.
Nightjar was one of 48 New Jersey businesses that recently earned a combined $12 million in state grants under the Cannabis Equity Grant Program. Read More: NJ Marijuana Businesses Get $12M In ‘Equity’ Funding
